Enhance Your Security by Keeping Up with OS Updates

Enterprise users should note that, although Apple has fixed a range of vulnerabilities with the 10.3.2 update, the security benefits are not reflected on devices unless users update the iOS. Thus, before attackers exploit these vulnerabilities, enterprise users should go to “Settings > General > Software Update” and update their iOS to the latest version.

OS updates are among the easiest and most cost-effective ways to prevent attacks from exploiting holes in older operating systems and we certainly recommend updating to this latest OS release given the numerous security updates it provides.
